International Fellowships are awarded for full-time study or research to women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Both graduate and postgraduate study at accredited institutions are supported. (For support at the undergraduate level, visit www.isep.org.)

The Foundation will award 57 fellowships for the 2005-06 academic year. Six of these awards are available to members of International Federation of University Women affiliate organizations. These fellowship recipients may study in any country other than their own.

The Foundation also awards several annual Home Country Project Grants ($5,000 to $7,000 each) to women who received AAUW Educational Foundation International Fellowships between 2001 and 2005. These grants support community-based projects designed to improve the lives of women and girls in the fellow’s home country.

To be eligible for an International Fellowship, you must meet the following requirements:
* You must be a citizen in a country other than the United States, or you must hold a nonimmigrant visa if you reside in the United States.
* You must complete an academic degree equivalent to a bachelor’s degree from a U.S. college or university by Sept. 1, 2004.
* You must intend to devote yourself full time to your proposed academic plan during the fellowship year.
* You must intend to return to your home country to pursue a professional career.
* You must be proficient in English. Unless you can verify that your native language is English or that you received your undergraduate degree from or will have completed one semester of full-time study in your discipline at a university in the United States by Sept. 1, 2004, you must submit a recent score (no older than October 2002) on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Transcripts must be submitted by Jan. 10, 2005, for verification. The minimum acceptable score is 550 for the paper-based TOEFL and 213 for the computer-based test. Test scores must reach the Foundation no later than April 1, 2005.
* You must have applied by December 2004, to an accredited institution of study for the period of the fellowship year and must indicate the name of that institution in the International Fellowship application. The institution you plan to attend must be located in the United States unless you are a member of an organization affiliated with IFUW.
* You must be a member of an organization affiliated with the International Association of University Women (IFUW) to be considered for one of six fellowships awarded for study in any country other than your own country.* Please note: AAUW members are not eligible to apply for International Fellowships.
